(UMT.Lahore, 2018) Farva Rafique; Mishaal Ashfaq
In this study, the relationship of positive and negative affect and emotional eating in young adults was investigated for this purpose two scales PANAS-GEN (Watson, Clark, & Tellengen 1988), and Emotional Appetite Questionnaires (Laurence J. Nolan 2003) were used to measure the relationship of variables. Correlational design was used to conduct this study and the sample of 200 students was used for convenient sampling strategy. Individual consent was required from the participants after explaining the nature and purpose of the research. All the data collection tools were administered to participants and statistical analysis was carried out. Results suggested that participant’s food intake was more in response to negative affect. It is significant that future research target different areas of people of typical weight that take part in emotional eating.
